It was the first ever recorded drift in history by Enzo Ferrari who passenger Nuvolari in the races making him the first to master the four wheel drifting skill. Viva Italia!here is a bit of that history for your info ;) read on..."Through the years the Scuderia Ferrari would employ such great drivers as Giuseppe Campari, Louis Chiron, Achille Varzi and the greatest of them all Tazio Nuvolari.Except for Nuvolari's great victory in the 1935 German Grand Prix, victories in any of the major races were few and far between. During these years his team faced the German might of Auto Union and Mercedes. On one occasion Ferrari had the opportunity to passenger the great Nuvolari. At the trials on the "Three Provinces" Circuit, when he asked his companion (Ferrari was also driving there with a more powerful car than the Mantuan's) to take him with him. It should be added that Nuvolari did not know that circuit. "At the first bend," Ferrari writes, "I had the clear sensation that Tazio had taken it badly and that we would end up in the ditch; I felt myself stiffen as I waited for the crunch. Instead, we found ourselves on the next straight with the car in a perfect position. I looked at him," Ferrari goes on. "His rugged face was calm, just as it always was, and certainly not the face of someone who had just escaped a hair-raising spin. I had the same sensation at the second bend. By the fourth or fifth bend I began to understand; in the meantime, I had noticed that through the entire bend Tazio did not lift his foot from the accelerator, and that, in fact, it was flat on the floor. As bend followed bend, I discovered his secret. Nuvolari entered the bend somewhat earlier than my driver's instinct would have told me to. But he went into the bend in an unusual way: with one movement he aimed the nose of the car at the inside edge, just where the curve itself started. His foot was flat down, and he had obviously changed down to the right gear before going through this fearsome rigmarole. In this way he put the car into a four-wheel drift, making the most of the thrust of the centrifugal force and keeping it on the road with the traction of the driving wheels. Throughout the bend the car shaved the inside edge, and when the bend turned into the straight the car was in the normal position for accelerating down it, with no need for any corrections." Ferrari honestly admits that he soon became used to this exercise, because he saw Nuvolari do it countless times. "But each time I seemed to be climbing into a roller coaster and finding myself coming through the downhill run with that sort of dazed feeling that we all know."Car Make and Model : Alfa Romeo 75Car Year : late 80'sYour Comment of your first drift car : do not have one but i do power slides with my mum's kelisa on rainy days somewhere in the neighbourhood ;) but would like to experiement on all drivetrains though...Your Suggestions to newbie : I'm a newbie myself so i would suggest pray for rainy days to practice and find an opening or a safe area to...go crazy... (have tried to drift with company's Suzuki ERV before too, pretty scary but capabled nonetheless heheh)Your Ultimate next/dream drift car : Haven't got a clue as i haven't tried all of 'em to know their slippery characteristics though. But in terms of doing it sideways and look good at doing it, i would like to go sidewinding bonkers with a rare car...the likes of a old skool vw beetle or a karman ghia ;)</blockquote>
